MY HOLIDAY WISH LIST FROM THE USPTO

John R. Sommer1
Stussy, Inc.

1. TESS Structured Search

Change the default operator for a Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS2) Structured Search to AND. Currently, the default operator is OR. I have never used OR, and I do not know anyone who has. If one forgets to change to AND, the results usually are fantastically large.
